Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger Intro Movie?

Snowy_River said:
Hmm. I've never heard a mountain lion being called a panther. This is especially inappropriate as the mountain lion is not of the panthera family. It is, in fact, a Puma Concolor. There are several families that contribute to the 'big cats', not just the panthera.

Local names vary greatly, and panther is one that is used for the puma.

There is but one taxonomic family that makes up "the big cats" - felidae. There is no family called panthera.

You probably meant genera. Even so, all big cats belong to the genera panthera (see below). The cheetah, like the puma, is not a big cat. Big cats roar, small cats purr. Both cheeetahs and pumas purr, but do not roar. Cheetahs are given their own genera, Acinonyx, since they have other unique characteristics - like non-retractable claws.

In 1996, there was a taxonimic change that increased the number of genera. There are now 4 genera in the sub-family pantherinae - panthera, neofelis, uncia and pardofelis. Still only members of the genera pathera are considered "big cats".
 
This might have been said before, but this thing was leaked like two months ago. I had no idea that so few people had seen it.
More importantly, where can I find a link to the pre-Panther intro video?
 
Tiger Intro, get it while you can

I found another site with the Tiger Intro movie using google. Get it while you can.

Or at least I think it is, I never seen the first one posted.

Tiger Intro Movie <-- Modified version of the intro movie
 
Tiger movie found by google

I did a search using google for "Tiger Intro Movie" and the third one with oriental characters is the one.

So YOUR thestringer? and you didn't even WANT people to see it? :eek:
 
Now i am very very worrid !

i took down all my .Mac site on the 1st and put a password to the site , and now all of it is back up again ? anyone know what might have happend here?

apple? is that you playing with my .Mac account
 
Another link for Tiger Intro Movie

Here is another Tiger Intro Movie BUT it appears to me to be the REAL one.

Tiger Intro Movie

You may have to right-click or control-click and save the file to view it.

P.S. You will be amazed at what you can find on foreign sites :D
 
So are we back to "this Tuesday" for the announcement or is it going to be in 2 weeks when ther have enough stock and its shipped?

I strongly believe they will give us the ship date beforehand (hopefully this week). That way they'll be able to accept preorders that will be delivered to us "by" the ship date, just as they did with iLife and iWork. Furthermore, it will make for a day, where people can turnout at the Apple stores, if they know the release date. This is similar to the iLife, iWork, and Mac Mini day in January.

attention binder520

(i like doing that)

anyways, in the uk we have summin called shazam. it tells u the name of any song. i tagged the one in the tiger vid. it's:

WEEVIL - Bytecry

and btw, its in itunes

You mean it's in iTunes UK? Cause I don't see it in the U.S. store.

Weevil is the mod track, no?
 
Half right.

Wait a tic, let me see if I understand this.

Tiger - 32-bit OS with 64-bit tacked on.
WinXP64 - 64-bit OS with 32-bit tacked on.

G5 - 64-bit processor with 32-bit tacked on (I think).
x64 - 32-bit processor with 64-bit tacked on.

About 3/4 right.

Tiger is indeed a 32-bit core OS with the capability added that applications can address 64-bit memory space, and issue 64-bit instructions to the processor. But, about 99% of the OS is still 32-bit. Why? Because it doesn't need to be 64-bit. Porting everything to 64-bit would be a waste of time.

WinXP64 is indeed a completely recompiled 64-bit OS. 100% 64-bit. Which means that older 32-bit apps need to run through a 32-bit compatibility mode. (Similar in spirit, if not implementation, as running 16-bit apps in WinXP.)

The x86-64 architecture is indeed a 32-bit architecture with 64-bit-ness glued on. Much as the present 32-bit x86 is really 32-bit-ness glued onto a 16-bit architecture. (The 386 introduced 32-bit mode.)

But, the PowerPC G5 (or PPC970-series,) is fully 64-bit, through and through, from the beginning. The PPC970 actually has more in common with IBM's POWER series of extremely-high-end-workstation processors than with previous 'G3' and 'G4' PowerPCs. This derives from the fact that the entire 'PowerPC' line is really just a superset of IBM's 'POWER' line. When the PowerPC instruction set was first developed in the early '90s, 64-bit was an integral part of the design. It was cost issues that caused IBM, Motorola, and Apple to only implement the 32-bit portion until now. (In fact, IBM did make a 64-bit PowerPC in the late '90s, but it saw extremely limited use, having never been in a PowerMac.) The PowerPC 970 is basically a single POWER4 core with AltiVec slapped on; significantly different than the PowerPC 750 (G3) or 7400 (G4) series, which were designed as 32-bit PowerPC processors. The POWER series has been 64-bit all along, and with the latest POWER cores, has full 32-bit PowerPC instruction set compatibility.

AWESOME!!! The Power 970 is an awesome chip, and I'm proud to say Macs use them!
